Bug#784841: paraview-python: cannot be installed side by side with mayavi2

[Francesco Poli (wintermute)]

Package: paraview-python
Version: 4.1.0+dfsg+1-1
Severity: normal

Hello and thanks for maintaining ParaView in Debian!

It seems to me that it's not possible to install paraview-python
on boxes where mayavi2 is already present:

  $ aptitude -s install paraview-python 
  The following NEW packages will be installed:
    fonts-lyx{a} libarmadillo4{a} libarpack2{a} libdap11{a} libdapclient3{a} 
    libdapserver7{a} libepsilon1{a} libfreexl1{a} libgdal1h{a} 
    libgeos-3.4.2{a} libgeos-c1{a} libhdf4-0-alt{a} libjsoncpp0{a} libkml0{a} 
    libodbc1{a} libogdi3.2{a} libproj0{a} libqt5opengl5{a} libqt5webkit5{a} 
    libspatialite5{a} liburiparser1{a} libvtk6.1{a} libxdmf2{a} 
    libxerces-c3.1{a} mpi-default-bin{a} odbcinst{a} odbcinst1debian2{a} 
    openmpi-bin{a} openmpi-common{a} paraview{a} paraview-doc{a} 
    paraview-python proj-bin{a} proj-data{a} python-dateutil{a} 
    python-glade2{a} python-matplotlib{a} python-matplotlib-data{a} 
    python-mock{a} python-nose{a} python-pyparsing{a} python-tz{a} 
    python-vtk6{ab} tcl-vtk6{a}

  The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
  
       Remove the following packages:
  1)     mayavi2                     
  2)     python-vtk                  
  
  
  
  Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]


It would be nice if this conflict could solved for the best,
so that one could have mayavi2 and paraview-python on the same
box.

Thanks for considering.
Bye.
